go in at an angle and you will be fine...45 degrees or more.

Doesn't look that bad. Try hitting it at an angle, slowly.

You think so? I'll give it a chance with someone overseeing it, but it sure does look troublesome!

Also, the darker grey of the driveway is actually steeper than the rest of the driveway Really stupid, you'd think it would be the opposite. I don't know why it was done that way.

No problem. I have done much worse. Very slow and at as sharp of an angle as possible. Don't forget to do the same on the way out!

That driveway is way easy to go up and down. Mine is almost a 50 degree grade.

You might rub the air dam a bit but that won't hurt anything.

I agree. It shouldn't rub at all if done right. But it's close to the limit of not rubbing. Anything steeper and the street would be better, but car is safer in the driveway. Or even better, inside the garage, but I suspect it's filled with all kinds of junk. Am I right?

I don't see the issue in the pictures. You'll be fine.
